Recent rumors have also speculated that Xbox Live Gold is going away or perhaps even being made free. I asked Microsoft to comment on the rumors, and the company said: "We have no plans to discontinue Xbox Live Gold at this time. It is an important part of gaming on Xbox today, and will continue to be in the future."wouldn't be the first time a company blatantly lied to consumers just before making the rumored whatever. but at least for today it would seem the rumors are just wishful thinking.

This split gets especially tricky for games like Halo Infinite, which Microsoft has promised will have a free-to-play multiplayer mode. If Microsoft does continue Xbox Live Gold as a paid service on Xbox consoles, then PC players will get totally free access to Halo Infinite and Xbox players will not.is this even a true statement? I know on playstation you don't need to have ps+ to play online multiplayer if the game itself is a free-to-play game. is xbox not the same?
